On my last birthday, we had just finished going out for Cuban food and were heading home. I knew when I got home and finished unwrapping things my Birthday Would Be Over and I was just really enjoying driving around with Martin. So we drove around for a while aimlessly in our area, listening to good music and looking at Christmas lights. Then we turned a corner and came across a beautiful Art Deco behemoth in the darkness and said What the hell is THAT??

Out of the 9 known to exist on the entire planet, seven have been restored. Of that seven, only one has been converted to a motorhome. And that is exactly the one we stumbled upon while driving around L.A.

I love this city.

Okay, you're pretty tired of text now. You want to see the awesome Art Deco motorhome...

We obviously got these a few days later when there was more light. Although we took pictures that night, too, because we were NOT going to leave without photos of this thing.

In this one you can see the steering wheel in the dead center...

The back reminds me of the Rocketeer's helmet. And this is where you enter...

DAMN this thing is pretty. If you follow the first link there are shots of the interior if you want to see more of it. I wish we could get entrance to take some ourselves. Beautiful beautiful vehicle.
